Evelyn+Dudley


 * SUMMARY: Evelyn Dudley, age 38, died March 16, 1973 after an abortion performed by T.R. Mason Howard at his Friendship Medical Center in Chicago, IL.**

Reports on death of Evelyn Dudley, age 38, alleged that she was treated at Friendship Medical Center in Chicago on March 16, 1973.

Later, at home, she collapsed in the driveway. She was taken to a hospital, where attempts to save her failed.

Her death was due to shock, [|hemorrhage] from a ruptured cervix and vagina, from "remote abortion." T.R. Mason Howard (pictured) stated that Evelyn was treated at Friendship for infection sustained in an abortion in Detroit. But Evelyn's brother stated that she had come to Chicago specifically to have the [|abortion].

Julia Rogers (April, 1973) and Dorothy Brown (August, 1974) also died after abortions at Friendship Medical Center.

As you can see from the graph below, abortion deaths were falling dramatically before legalization. This steep fall had been in place for decades. To argue that legalization lowered abortion mortality simply isn't supported by the data.
